Saint-Jammes is a French municipality with 628 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2016: Aquitaine ). The municipality belongs to the Arrondissement of Pau and the canton of Pays de Morlaàs et du Montanérès (until 2015: canton of Morlaàs ).

The name of the municipality is derived from Saint-Jacques and is therefore an indication of the geographical location on one of the Way of St. James to Santiago de Compostela . The inhabitants are called Saint-Jammois and Saint-Jammoises .

history

Three partly very old paths contributed to the settlement of Saint-Jammes on the edge of an otherwise less fertile area, a path of transhumance that has existed since early history , a Roman road that connected Lescar with Auch and a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The name of the parish was first mentioned in the scriptures in 1376 but does not appear in the records of the Béarn census in 1385 because Saint-Jammes, like Lahayede, belonged to Morlaàs. The lordship of Lahayede, today a district in the northwest of the parish, only affected half of the parish. It was split into two families, the Laussade family, followed by the Belsunce family in 1615, and the landlords of Higuères. This situation led to rivalry and conflict for many years. In 1806 the municipality of Lahayede joined the municipality of Saint-Jammes.

Toponyms and mentions of Saint-Jammes were:

  • Sent-Jacme (1376, military exhibition , sheet 31),

  • Relais de la Patte d'oie inn . The name "zum Gänsefuß" can be traced back to the intersection of four streets. The inn was well-frequented in the 19th century and known for hunting rides organized by Englishmen from Pau, attracted by the climate and the shape and vegetation of the landscape.
  • Mansion. In 1930, a wealthy man from Paris built the manor house called Blanche-Neige ( German  Snow White ) on the property of the former Lahayede family in the middle of a wooded park. Today a center for mentally handicapped children and young people has been set up there.
